Well guys i began by inventorying what i have and what i need to buy and wouldn't you know it, there was an unknown leak in the shed right on top of the boxes which i had all my parts stored and as you can see the water damage took its toll. What hurt the most was the set of original seats and steering wheel that i had been saving for the rebuild. Long story short, can't fix it now, so time to move on. So as far as speedster parts go, not frame or bug parts, what company's out there are safe to buy from? Is vintage speedster and vintage speedster parts the same company? I found beck/seduction/jdt cars/sierra madre from doing all this reading on the site. I'm trying to weed out who's ok to buy from now and not have to wait 7 months or never for a part. A lot of the companies i used to go to have closed there doors since the last time i had built a cmc 356. The car i have now is an IM vw based and i remember i had tried about 8 years ago to purchase from IM the parts to make it a roadster D, like the window post, glass, top and the overriders for the front and rear bumpers and was told flat out when i called that they did not sell parts. I know i had an old IM and most parts i would have had to mod for fitment but heck we build these things right and it is an IM right! nope! That really bothered the crap out of me. Maybe someone tell me if they have changed any over the years? So off to the fun with frame mods. lol and as always thanks for the input.
